Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band performed at the North Charleston Coliseum in Charleston SC last night. The Set List the show is now available.
Some changes to the set list included “Honey Do” (last played 01-16-2010: Bloody Mary’s – Bora Bora) and “Prince Of Tides” (last played 02-05-2003: Colonial Center – Columbia, SC).
The Post and Courier has a review of the show: “Parrotheads party, Buffett gets very sunny Lowcountry welcome”
It has been more than a decade since Jimmy Buffett has performed live in the Charleston area, despite having a large and faithful following here.
Buffett last played North Charleston Coliseum on Feb. 26, 1997. Since then the singer has used the Coliseum to rehearse for other tours, but those performances were not open to the general public.
Buffett has been known to visit the Lowcountry even when he isn’t touring, and has been seen booking charter fishing trips or picking up supplies for his seaplane at local stores.
Unseasonably warm weather made it all the easier for fans to tailgate Thursday in the coliseum’s parking lot, which was awash in rainbow of Hawaiian shirts and tropical drinks. Once inside, the crowd was an impressive variety of demographics: everyone from baby boomers who, like Buffett, now qualify for retirement (Buffett turned 65 Christmas Day), to those folk’s grandchildren, and every age in between. Apparently when it comes to enjoying a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” or discussing the finer points of a pencil-thin mustache, age knows no bounds.
